Wood Chip Buildings

The La Llotja Theatre and Conference Centre by Mecanoo Architects

I love going to the theatre, I think there is something so cultured, posh and downright entertaining about the whole experience—and with the La Llotja Theatre, that experience is quadrupled.

Designed by Mecanoo Architects, the La Llotja Theatre may look like is was pasted together with wood chips (the effect of which is pretty interesting), but the inside is what’s truly awe-inspiring. Simply look through the gallery above and you’ll seeing a dazzling light installation that may just steal the show.
